Chapter 343 Desire for Victory (3rd)

Zhang Guan retaliated and also sent an ACE ball. The audience at the scene suddenly fell into an uproar.

"After Federer sent an ACE, Zhang Guan also sent an ACE. It is really unimaginable. After the score of the tie-break reached 6-6, the two sides actually sent ACEs one after another!" The commentator was excited. shouted, the depression and boredom of the previous dozen or so rounds were swept away at this moment.

Under normal circumstances, when it comes to the tie-break, nine out of ten players will choose to be more stable, especially when it comes to a score of 6-6, only two goals are needed to win, and there is no chance for players to make mistakes .

However, at this time, the two top tennis players did the opposite. At this most critical moment, they both chose to fight the ACE ball, and they both achieved success. This also greatly increased the viewing and excitement of the game.

Federer was slightly surprised, but then immediately recovered his calm. A strong opponent can make Federer more focused and arouse his desire to win.

Zhang Guan held two tennis balls in his hand, tried them out, then threw one of the tennis balls to the caddy, and then continued to serve.

"Drink..." Zhang Guan roared, even the audience sitting in the last row could clearly hear it.

The tennis ball flew over the net, and at the same time Federer's body also moved. He rushed towards the tennis ball, and at the same time stretched out his racket fiercely.

But Federer was still a little short, and his racket ended up missing the ball.

Another ACE ball!

"Ace ball! Zhang Guan sent two ACE balls in a row. At the most critical moment of the tie-break, he sent two ACE balls in a row. It was so daring. Now the score is 8-7, and Zhang Guan is leading temporarily." As the commentator spoke, he looked at Federer on the opposite side. I saw Federer tried the elasticity of the ball, and then made a serve.

Federer shouted the same, and Zhang Guan also moved a step earlier.

"Bang..." The racket hit the tennis ball, but the angle was a bit low, and the ball was finally intercepted by the net.

Federer served and scored, and the tie-break was tied at 8-8.

Federer continued to serve, but this time, the quality of Federer's serve was slightly worse than the previous one, and Zhang Guan successfully received it.

Although Zhang Guan succeeded in receiving the serve, the quality of the serve was only average. Federer immediately chose to suppress the forehand, and Zhang Guan also quickly ran to receive the ball.

Federer mobilized his forehand back and forth, but Zhang Guan relied on fast movement to continuously complete the counterattack. Although Federer had a few extreme shots during the period, they were all resolved by Zhang Guan in the end. In the end it turned into a stalemate.

"This shot has a chance to break serve!" Zhang Guan realized that this was his chance, and he also worked hard to save the ball, so he would definitely not give up this shot easily.

Zhang Guan crossed the bottom line with a stride, and caught the ball early, but it was the front point of attacking Federer.

Federer immediately ran into the baseline range, he wanted to continue to pull the baseline, but lost the opportunity.

In the end, Zhang Guan won the goal through continuous grabbing points.

The score became 9-8, and it was still Zhang Guan's serve, and Zhang Guan also cherished this opportunity, and finally won the tie-break with a score of 10-8.

...

"Zhang Guan's state is also very good!" Nadal evaluated silently in his heart. Through the contest just now, Nadal has already noticed that the two players on the field have already played their best form, and they have also shown their personal best. good level.

"There is not much difference between the two in terms of forehand. Perhaps Zhang Guan's ball may be faster, but on the clay court of the French Open, this advantage is not obvious, but Zhang Guan's mobility is stronger. The key to winning the crown. If Federer has my mobility, at least he could hold the ball just now! But in general, both of them are very strong! If they can also play in the final If I am in this state, I am afraid that I will be in bad luck. I must also enter the best game state as soon as possible. If I do not show the best game state, maybe I will really lose in the final!" Nadal clenched With both fists, there is an incomparable tenacity in the eyes.

...

Although he lost the first set and even in the tie-break, Federer's mood was not affected and he calmed down even more.

"Zhang Guan's mobility is too strong, on par with Nadal, maybe even stronger in terms of explosiveness. This is also my disadvantage." Federer recalled his many contests with Nadal, Nadal It also relies on strong mobility to win the clay court victory.

"It's still not enough to suppress. If Zhang Guan is given enough pressure, even if he has super mobility, he can only be exhausted! I won Nadal like that in the Hamburg Masters."

Federer decided to put more pressure on Zhang Guan in the next game.

In the second set, Federer changed his tactics. He played aggressively in Zhang Guan's serve, constantly looking for counterattack opportunities. Some balls were so extreme that they seemed to be gambling on luck. Federer hoped to get a break.

But Federer played extremely steadily in his own serve, without revealing the slightest flaw, obviously in order to keep his serve.

This style of play is often used when facing players who are stronger than themselves. Because the strength is not as good as the opponent, the only way to break serve is to rely on luck; also because the strength is not as good as the opponent, you can only choose to be steady in your serve, so as to keep your serve.

The reason why Federer uses this style of play is because he has realized that his strength is not as good as Zhang Guan, and he must make changes in order to win.

This is the play of the weak. For Federer, he has not used this style of play since 2001. Because in 2001, he had already entered the quarterfinals of the Grand Slam, and since 2003 he has won the Grand Slam champion continuously. He is the king of tennis. No one in the world is stronger than him, even if It was against Nadal on the clay court, and Federer did not use this style of play.

But today, Federer is forced to use this underdog style of play.

Federer is eager to win. In order to win, Federer is willing to put down the pride of the tennis king and admit that he is a weak person.

...

"Federer, this is..." Nadal had already stood up, and he could see that Federer was using the "weak player's style of play".

The next moment, Nadal opened his mouth in surprise.

"That's Federer! That's Federer who holds 9 Grand Slam titles! That's the king of tennis! He can use this style of play! How much courage does he have to make this choice !"

For a strong man who has stood at the top of the world for a long time to choose to use the means of the weak, this really requires incomparable courage!

At this moment, Nadal felt the strong desire to win in Federer's heart, and Nadal could feel even more that Federer now only has victory in his heart! He died for victory.

"Federer is really the greatest tennis player!" Nadal sighed softly, and then he looked at Zhang Guan, but there was a trace of fear in his eyes.

"Is Zhang Guan really so strong?"
